la révolution official trailer netflix download free hd quality
The French Revolution has been investigated on screens both of all shapes and sizes in the course of the only remaining century and change. From minor departure from the tale of Marie Antoinette and sentiments set against the setting of the upheaval to war legends and dramatizations, numerous zones of this period have been secured. Be that as it may, imagine a scenario in which it was done through the viewpoint of loathsomeness. That is actually what is envisioned by La Révolution, an arrangement currently spilling on Netflix.
LA REVOLUTION: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?
Opening Shot: A morose, frigid scene. A scoured carriage sits void, bodies thronw around it. Behind it, a smoking castle.
The Gist: France, 1789. We start in a cold, war-torn town where a man runs for his life from a veiled rider on the rear of a blood-drenched pony. He gives a valiant effort to guard himself, however he's hit by projectiles and drops to the ground. The rider descent and approaches, completing the work, lastly decapitating the man. They pull down the veil and we meet our executioner – a little youngster named Madeleine. A long time prior, Madeleine clarifies what started this damnation and how the dead began to return to life.
The inducing episode for this wound new development is by all accounts the homicide of a 16-year-old young lady named Rebecca, who winds up battling for her life subterranean as a secretive figure follows her in the murkiness. Similarly as she goes after a kept entryway, she's yanked far out, later regarded ate up by an unsettled savage. While workers and townspeople start to murmur beneath, the Montargis family keep on living enormous above everything. Noblewoman Élise appears to be pulled back from this life of extravagance, deciding to stay away from the celebrating, and is pulled away one night when her more youthful sister Madeleine has a brutal fit. She later describes her fantasy (she saw Rebecca's homicide) to a specialist, who proposes she should be regulated – a thought their rough Uncle Charles appears to concur with.
In the interim, a specialist named Joseph goes through his days doing research and working with detainees, and is intrigued when he experiences the man indicted for killing Rebecca. Things are not as they appear, and it before long turns out to be evident that there's much more to the story than the police might want them to know. The dead may not generally be gone, and more than one executioner is totally free. Things are just barely starting.
What Shows Will It Remind You Of? La Révolution echoes familiar beats from sexy royal and otherwise period dramas with a little bit of fantasy mixed in, so if you’re a fan of series like Versailles, The Borgias, and more, you’ll likely be on board.
Our Take: It’s been a minute since a period drama or alt-history series did things with a scary twist, and La Révolution will make you wonder why it took so long. This era and horror seem like a match made in heaven, a sort of spooky gothic soap that combines mystery, romance, politics, and scares and creates something extremely entertaining in the process. It scratches exactly the sinister escapist itch I’ve been craving, something that requires some attention but not too much thought. Like on any good period series, the cast is very hot (even the grimiest members), the settings perfectly dreary and eerie, the potential for frights and steamy nights endless.
There may be some folks bothered by the self-congratulatory nature of the show’s social positions, but if you’re watching La Révolution in the hopes of experiencing some profound political commentary, you should probably look elsewhere. Find a nice docuseries or dedicated period drama, not a bloody alt-history romp that involves young girls beheading men in the snow. It may trivialize certain aspects of a very serious part of history, sure, but pretty much every era has received that treatment at this point. The French Revolution is strangely a perfect match for a horror twist, and that’s all La Révolution really is trying to be: a twisty, terrifying take on an oft-explored historical period. Why waste time trying to force a show to be something it isn’t?
La Révolution certainly kicks things off by juggling a lot of stories simultaneously, but it doesn’t ever feel overwhelming. The creepy cannibal theories combined with police coverup, royal involvement, forbidden love, brewing political unrest, and a doctor who seems to be catching onto everything before anyone else does all make for a compelling pilot. I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series takes us, even if it involves me watching some of the more gruesome scenes through my fingers.
Sex and Skin: We get a glimpse of some flashback sexy time between our leading lady and her lost love, but it’s pretty short-lived. Based on the interactions we see between some other folks, though, there’s bound to be some more steaminess ahead.
Parting Shot: As Madeleine’s narration kicks back in, we see a boat full of people heading for an island. Among them, Élise’s (murdered!) love Albert, eyes open, but looking a little less lively than the last time we saw him.
Sleeper Star: We don’t see too much of him during this episode, but Laurent Lucas (who you might recognize from Raw, Julie Ducournau’s cannibal flick) fills the shoes of villainous uncle Charles de Montargis so well already. There’s something unsettling and mysterious about him – it appears he might have quite the role to play in this series, perhaps even darker than we might anticipate from the pilot alone.
Most Pilot-y Line: “They say history is written by its victors. They forget to say it is rewritten over time.” These opening lines are pilot-y as hell, but I have to give it a pass because it sounds so nice in French.
Our Call: STREAM IT. It plays fast and loose with history and political ideals, sure, but more than anything, it’s a fantasy – and a spooky one at that. La Révolution is indulgent, bloody, and mysterious. What more could you want?
